Antibiotic Drugs Flashcards
This is a secondary infection that occurs when the normal microbial flora of the body are disturbed during antibiotic therapy.
Superinfection
An enzyme produces by bacterial strains, which provide resistance by destroying the beta-lactam ring in the drugs
Beta-Lactamase
Beta-lactam drugs need an additional drug to make the drug more powerful against those Microorganisms, and these are called
Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor
Give the broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotics
Amoxicillin-clavulanate and Ampicillin
These drugs are given when CD4 cells decrease below 350 cells/mm3 (NV: 800-1200 cells/mm3)
Anti-Retrovirals
True or False. These are some of the GOALS OF HAART: to decrease viral load to undetectable levels, and; to preserve and increase number of CD4+ T cells
True
In stages of HIV Infection, what is most likely to happen when CD4 falls below 50 cells/mm3?
Death
This anti-helminthic drug increases permeability of the cell membrane of the worm which causes dislodgement on the site of residence which they are then killed by the host
Praziquantel
Give the drugs used for treatment of Severe malaria
Artesunate IV, Primaquine, and Quinine
The most effective antimalarial drug for eradicating the parasite during the exoerythrocytic phase
Primaquine
What is drug treatment regimen RIPES stand for?
Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol, Streptomycin
Drug of choice for prevention of anthrax
Quinolones
Erythromycin is a drug of choice for ‘LEGIONNAIRES CAMP on My Border’- which means
Legionella, Campylobacter, Mycoplasma, Bordetella
Antibiotic drugs that binds to Ca, Mg, and Al metallic ions to form complexes which reduces absorption of the drug when administered together with milk, antacids and iron salts
Tetracyclines
Have the broadest antibacterial actions of any antibiotics; Bactericidal and inhibit cell wall synthesis and are often reserved for complicated body cavity and connective tissue infections
Carbapenems
